12 May, 2026
Gómez-Acebo & Pombo has advised on a €220m syndicated financing granted to Fira 2000 to fund part of the expansion and redevelopment project of Fira Barcelona.
The financing has been provided by a pool of lenders comprising BBVA, Banc Sabadell, CaixaBank, Banco Santander and the Institut Català de Finances (ICF), and is backed by a guarantee from the Government of Catalonia. The facility will enable, on the one hand, the first phase of the refurbishment of the Montjuïc venue (up to €125m) and, on the other, the completion of the development of the new “Hall Zero” pavilion at the Gran Via venue (up to €95m), both key elements within the overall investment plan aimed at strengthening Fira de Barcelona’s international positioning.
The GA_P team was composed of Ferran Foix, Daniel Marín and Irene Fernández Puyol, partners in the Banking and Finance, Corporate/M&A, and Public Law & Regulated Sectors practice areas, respectively, and Alejandro Toste, associate in the Banking and Finance team.

Notarial enforcement of pledges. Is Article 1872 of the Civil Code mandatory? In what sense?
The clause agreed upon must comply, for greater certainty, with the provisions of the new judicial enforcement procedure. It will be necessary to agree on an appraised value, which is not required in Article 1872 CC, because otherwise the award would be similar to a ‘forfeiture proviso’ (pactum commissorium), which the Civil Code neutralised with the drastic imposition of extinguishment of the debt in its entirety.
